Changing Of The Seasons

“Changing of the Seasons” – Original Oil Painting by rek (2022)
16" x 40" | Oil on Canvas | Unframed

A striking original work that merges surrealism and horror into a haunting, unforgettable image.

“Changing of the Seasons” presents a twisted, tree-like figure—part human, part natural form—caught in a moment of silent scream or transformation. The spiraling, bark-like head rises into barren branches, while a lone leaf and drifting autumn fragment suggest a shift not just in season, but in identity. The vivid red garment grounds the figure in something familiar, making the distortion all the more unsettling.

Painted in Georgia, this piece reflects a Southern Gothic sensibility—organic, eerie, and quietly poetic. The soft, atmospheric background contrasts with the sharp, visceral detail of the figure, creating a sense of isolation and tension that draws the viewer in.
